Examples

Intro

We've prefilled some of your information

Since you’re signed in, we can prefill part of your application based on your profile details. You can also save your application in progress and come back later to finish filling it out.

Usage

When to use

  • When prefilling information from the user’s profile. These messages communicate to the user that their profile information has been leveraged to pre-populate the form that they are filling out and informs the user that their progress will be saved as they complete the form.

When to consider something else

  • Unauthenticated users. Users who are unauthenticated should not see this message as we cannot use their profile data to prefill the form.

How this component works

  • Uses Alert - Informational. This component is an instance of the Alert - Informational component, with specific pre-determined content.

Placement

  • This component appears after the subtitle of the form and before the action link to start the form process on the authenticated variation of the Form - Introduction page.

Code usage

Code for both variations of this component is shown in the examples.

Content considerations

Message content for both variations can be found in engagement messages.
